Keely watched as he walked away from her. Forever. She wanted his hand to stay in her hand, and a single tear fell down her cheek. But deep inside her she knew she couldn't just run away from life. Because it would find her again. Life always found her.

All I know is you're not here to say

What you always used to say

But it's written in the sky tonight

She looked up at the sky, and her mind trailed back to when Phil and her used to look at the stars.

"Hey did you happen to notice how Kyle was looking at Brenda in math?" Keely said.

Phil laughed. "Keely have you not learned your lesson, Meddling only leads to trouble"

"Yeah, Sorry it just drives me crazy when two people, who are meant to be together, are too clueless to do anything about it,"Keely told Phil, and looked almost embarrassed.

Then she looked up at the sky. "Wow the stars are beautiful tonight"

Phil looked at Keely and nodded. "Yeah."

He wasn't here to tell her it would all be okay. That she would survive this, and get through it. But the stars gave her comfort. It was like, he was in the stars somewhere.

So I won't give up

No I won't break down

Sooner than it seems life turns around

And I will be strong

Even if it all goes wrong

When I'm standing in the dark

I'll still believe

Someone's watching over me

She remembered when Phil had told her that he had been her so-called guardian angel.

"That was you?" Keely asked, letting go of the ornament she had just put on the tree.

Phil shrugged. "That was the first time we met."

Keely leaned across and hugged him. "Phil Diffy, you are the most wonderful boy I've ever known," she whispered in his ear.

I guess he was really watching over her. He was her guardian angel. And she was going to show him that she was strong. And even though everything had fallen to pieces, she wanted to prove she could live her life.

Seen that ray of light

And it's shining on my destiny

Shining all the time

And I wont be afraid

To follow everywhere it's taking me

"Keely!" Via called.

Keely spun around. She hadn't quite got back to her old self, but she was as close as she was ever going to be. "Yeah?"

"They're looking for people to sing at the school dance tomorrow. You should go for it!" Via told her.

Keely nodded. "I think I will. It's not like I have anyone to go with."

"Great. I know you want to be a broadcaster and all, but you still love singing," Via said.

Keely smiled. "Thanks Via. I appreciate it."

All I know is yesterday is gone

And right now I belong

To this moment to my dreams

Keely put the finishing touches to her outfit. It was a blue halter neck dress with her white heels. She added a white bead necklace and bracelet and looked in the mirror. She looked sad, and miserable. But if she pasted a fake smile on her face, she would look normal. But she would never feel normal.

So I won't give up

No I won't break down

Sooner than it seems life turns around

And I will be strong

Even if it all goes wrong

When I'm standing in the dark

I'll still believe

Someone's watching over me

"Hey Keels!" Via called.

Keely winced at the sound of her old nickname, but then put on a fake smile. "Hey Via! You look great. Hi Owen"

"Hey Keely. I like your dress. And I hear your signing tonight. What are you signing? CD's? If you are, I want one!" Owen said.

Via rolled her eyes. "Good luck. I'll be rooting for you Keels."

It doesn't matter what people say

And it doesn't matter how long it takes

Believe in yourself and you'll find

And it only matters how true you are

Be true to yourself and follow your heart

"And here we have, Keely Teslow!" The announcer announced.

Keely walked onto the stage, out into the quiet. She heard the gym doors open, and saw murky shadows moving. "Um…hi. I'd like to dedicate this song to my best friend. Phil Diffy. And even though he's left, he is not forgotten."
The opening bars to Hilary Duff's Someone's Watching Over Me came on, and Keely gripped the microphone. She remembered the last time she had sung on this stage.

"And when it's my turn, to help you out, I'll gladly lift you up, without a doubt…" Keely sung.
